Ohio Spiderwort

This native perennial produces blue flowers that last only one day from an inflorescence at the tip of the stems that contains dozens of flower buds, providing continuous color in the landscape from May to August. This spiderwort is one of the most adaptable native wildflowers to cultivated garden conditions. It thrives in full sun and moderately moist soils. Over time, the plant clumps up and will reseed if not deadheaded.
